People auto tilting because of off meta picks

Can you please stop that! Also stop auto blaming the off meta pick for YOUR bad plays. Instead of tilting, maybe think how you and your champion can help each other out to win the game.

If the off meta pick can absolutely in no way work for the situation or game, I'm going to tilt. Its not your job to tell me not to for one. For two, bad comp work is just flatly tilting, especially if you're an ADC and your support last picks fucking Vel'koz with Barrier into Kata/Rengar/Talon so you can never even breath in the same teamfight as everyone else.

It's not your job to decide what's going to work for people other than yourself.

You're right. And for myself, a Vel'koz support is not going to work for me if they have four assassins. If you lock that in, you're actively trolling and I will be tilted.

I will be tilted

Is tilting going to get you any closer to a winning condition? You don't get to decide that someone's pick is 'actively trolling.' The dude that tilts over peoples' picks is the one trolling and who will ruin the game for everyone else.

Sounds like a weak mental.

GatekeeperTDSMar 22, 20191 votes

Eh...I wouldn't say it's weak mental. We're predisposed to think that our ideas and ways of doing things are the best way. The problem is that rational people can work through that and understand that they might be wrong and that even if the decision someone else was making was bad, contributing toxicity to the situation sure as hell isn't going to make anything better.

Know-it-alls exist everywhere. :)

Gatekeeper, you are wise beyond your years!

Hardly. It's just a finely-tuned low tolerance for horseshit. lol

"Its not your job to tell me not to for one. "- Use that same logic before tilting in champ select because someone picks a champion YOU deem to be invaluable. Unless they are purposely feeding, you titling, is probably going to do more damage than the Vel with barrier who may have sound reasoning as to why he/she went barrier.

Vel koz isn’t off meta support though...

GatekeeperTDSMar 21, 20191 votes

According to the OP, picking Vel'koz into assassins is off-meta and should be considered bannable griefing.

PhieldworkerMar 21, 20191 votes

Well that’s silly. Sounds like they are blaming their map awareness skills on their vel support.

There's a difference between off meta, and trolling.

Off meta is support.

Trolling is summoner 6 summoner 1 Nunu or AP Riven

Look, Rumble, Wukong and Trundle work as supports. It's a question of the ability of the support, not whether or not the team thinks it is viable.

That being said, while i do sport an 73% win rate Rumble Support, i would only play it with a premade, because it requires understanding of how the lane pressure mechanics work with an off-color support pick. They are perfectly fine in normal, but your mileage varies in ranked.

Ive seen too many Off meta picks not work entirely and fail. Im in low gold my trust in these players is already very low.

I often pick anivia support and get a lot of bullshit in the pregame lobby. They automatically jump to conclusions... oh you have ignite? Youre gonna steal my kills... okay if i get a kill, i get it. Im not going to actively go for the last hit. Oh you're picking anivia? You must be trolling me with walls. You are gonna take cs. You are gonna do this and that... like jesus christ kiddies... settle the fuck down. I run spellbook, i finish support item first (after tear), i use my walls to trap them and get your adc ass some kills. And i have 450k mastery with anivia, so deal with it. Everytime my adc gets caught, i throw a q and stun both of them and save my adc all the time. The walls and Qs are great for peel, and we can kill them unexpectedly because not many seem to know how to deal with anivia support.
